Provided herein are blends oils or fatty acids comprising more than 50% medium chain fatty acids, or the fatty acid alkyl esters thereof, and having low melting points. Such blends are useful as a fuel or as a starting material for the production of, for example, a biodiesel. Also provided genetically altered or modified plants, modified such that the amount of medium chain fatty acids generated by the plant are increased. Further provided is a method of predicting the melting point of a blend of fatty acid methyl esters and the use of such a method for identifying blends suitable for use as, for example, a biodiesel.

La présente invention concerne des mélanges d'huiles ou d'acides gras comprenant plus de 50 % d'acides gras à chaîne moyenne, ou leurs esters d'alkyles d'acides gras, et ayant de faibles points de fusion. De tels mélanges sont utiles comme carburants ou comme produits de départ pour la production d'un biodiesel, par exemple. La présente invention concerne également des plantes génétiquement altérées ou modifiées, modifiées de telle sorte que la quantité d'acides gras à chaîne moyenne générée par la plante est augmentée. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de prédiction du point de fusion d'un mélange d'esters méthyliques d'acides gras et l'utilisation d'un tel procédé pour identifier des mélanges adaptés à une utilisation comme, par exemple, un biodiesel.
